the wife and Lee made for Augusta. There
Oscar found them, and Thursday Of
fered a police officer $40 it he
would 'lSill dat niger He says he is all

spends his time between importuning the

all the articles sent them and boxed them
up neatly, the donations filling five large
boxes, which were sent off intact to be de-
livered TO the Davis party on their arrival
at Beauvoir The most of the goods sent
were of the very finest quality. There were
a few cheap donations, but in most cases
the liquors were from five to eighteen years
old, and many bottles were selected for their
age as medicinal liquors and not as ordi-
nary beverages Mr.. Crawford, Mr.. Harde-
man and Lamar, Rankin & Lamar, besides

donation
